Many perspectives, one voice, since 1896.
This resource provides industry partners with rapid access to state legal authorities that empower government officials to collect consumer purchase records during foodborne illness investigations, addressing companies’ concerns about privacy and regulatory authority that often delay critical outbreak response efforts.
During multi-jurisdictional foodborne illness outbreak investigations, government officials may have an urgent need to obtain consumer’s product purchase information from industry in order to determine common food links between ill people. Industry partners must determine how to balance these requests with any potential legal concerns related to protecting consumer privacy, which may cause a delay in providing information to investigators. As a result, some industry partners have begun asking regulators to provide references to their legal authority to obtain these records. This page is an online resource for industry to more rapidly access available states’ legal authorities or other documentation allowing government officials to obtain information such as consumer product purchase records from the food industry for investigative purposes.
The italic states have statutory citations that can be used for obtaining consumer purchase records during investigations.
